I think the reasons why people support Clubs Like United and Liverpool is one of the reason which some people can't get there heads around. To pick a Club just because its successful or famous for a lot of people is the wrong reason to support a Club as anyone can do that and if everyone done it then football would finish because nobody would support the smaller less famous Clubs. What makes a person who say lives in Brighton who has no ties whatsoever with Liverpool or Manchester turn there backs on there home Town or City and go and pick the Club of another place when they have a perfectly good club on there own doorstep which they can actively go out and support every other week, can a
Somebody explain this to me as I just can't get my head around supporting a club you can't go and watch yourself, this is an honest question and not a digg at anyone...
I can't remember any kids running round the playground wanting to be Mansfield town striker Iffy Onoura. There wouldn't much rivalry if everyone supported their home town. Wouldn't be much office football banter, unless someone commuted from Chesterfield, ooh they've get it then the bloody spirite!
Everyone's got a reason for supporting Liverpool. The fact my brothers were fans is obviously because they were winning things at the time, it doesn't explain why I'm still a fan and make a couple matches a year. You just happen to be born into a city when the football team were top of the world. I don't have much interest in the city, it's just soil. History does interest me though so I guess I'm more interested in Liverpool than other cities due to the cultural and industrial links.
You're very fortunate and your dedication is really impressive.
I refuse to believe you don't 'get it' though.
